Rip I fail at writing. xD I'm so sorry to everyone.
Highpaw nodded in greeting to Antpaw. Antpaw sat down next to her. "Did you hear? I'm getting a mate soon!"
Highpaw purred. "Congratulations!"
"I wonder who it is...Silvertail just lost her mate, so maybe her? But then again there is Pouncepaw and Cloverpaw so maybe not...also Duskpaw and you..." Antpaw mumbled to himself for a while about who his mate was going to be, before seeing a butterfly.
Highpaw watched as his eyes lit up and he pounced after the butterfly. She chuckled when he fell on his face. Maybe she wouldn't mind having him as a mate? No, Antpaw was to excitable, he would definatly want kits.
Highpaw's gaze wandered off to a sandy colored she-cat. At first, she thought it was Dustpaw, but then she realized that this kit was smaller and lacked the white sock on her left front paw. She realized that it was the kit she so wanted to talk to. But she couldn't. It was against the rules. Instead, she flicked her tail in greeting when the she-kit spotted her. The she-kit appeared to light up and nodded in greeting. Highpaw purred when the kit took one step forward then hesitated. Clearly, she had remembered the rules too.
Kits were to talk to other kits and elders only.
They would both have to wait until they were both apprentices.
Why wait?
Said a voice in Highpaw's head. Yeah, why wait? She would get scared for braking the rules, but what harm would that be? Highpaw shook her head. No! Who was she, her mentor? She didn't want to end up like that!
However, in the middle of the night, Highpaw snuck out the secret exit and creeped over to the kits den. A small sandy head poked out. The two appeared to have the same idea.
The two spoke for a few moments, before Highpaw went back to her own den. She was afraid of getting caught, even though she loved that little kit. She didn't even know why! Maybe...StarClan had something planned for them?
Highpaw's heart fluttered as she imagined being the first same sex couple since Sandstar's leadership began. How odd how they never learned of anything before that...it didn't matter much, no cat had any choice. They were never allowed to choose.
